THE movement Of the Farmers ALI
ance Of this state, to raise So 100000 In
shares Of SO each, for manufacturing
capital, is a good move and should sue
Deed. That $50 900. judiciously in
vested, would give a great impetus TO
cotton and wool manufacturers In this
state.
Now that the gallant Logan Is dead
and there Is no more that his enemies
can say, they are making merry over the
fool report that his son has expended
$500 In the purchase OF his bridal night
wrap. Anything to make Union
soldier ridiculous.
DELE.sEPs gives g rmsny just as much
taffy AS though he had secured loan
for his canal In Berlin. The German
engineers criticise his work very severe
ly. Experts who have been sent TO ex'
q uine It report unfsvOrsbly and no Ger
man loan need be ox pected.
THERE are only 100000 gallons OF
whiskey on hand 10 Kentucky. This &C
counts for the growing favor with viii, b
prohibition is being received In that
state. There is over production and
prohibition would reduce the stock.
The financial reason is at the bottom OF
most Of our moral co. victions.
FORT WORTH has a refrigerator plant
to let. II Ii was not SO dry that We
have fears Of its taking root here just
now we would advise transplantiHg the
plant to San Antonio. Ii 1t was here
and fairly rooted there is not one chance
10 a thousand OF Its proving barren or
unfruitful.
The Chicago dry goods clerks are ask
ing the aid of the churches and minis
tiers to help them secure the closing OF
the stores on Sundays. The parsons give
the aid that they may gather the clerks
into the fold. The clerks accept the aid
that they may emulate apostolic exam
pie and go fishing.
The man who talks temperance for
money and fears that prohibition has
been sprung upon the people too soon
shows his hand too plainly. He wants
his Job to last. The humbugs and can't
| Ing hypocrites are getting on deck. In
| a prohibition campaign they crowd the
honest advocates of that measure to the
wall.
JUDGE LYNCH held q successful term
of court at Troy, Tenn, early on st.

with the ancient law declaring that

The chile-con-carne stands must go.

ANNA DICKINSON has not given up the
stage. There never was born on this
side Of the big water, q more resolute
and gritty piece Of unadulterated
womanhood than this same Anna. She

A NORTHERN preacher has started a
little prohibition party Of his own. A
couple came before him to get married,
and detecting the odor Of whisky on the
mans breath he refused to tie the knot.
A whisky breath is not the most ap-
proved perfume for bridal hour, and ii
may turn out good thing for the
woman.
AUSTIN claims a population of 1900
based on directory statistics. She will
not be able to read her title clear to the
even 20 600 when Uncle Sam gets down
to bed rock on census matters three
years hence. Austin is not the only city
that will have the underpinning knocked
out Of her population presumptive when
that census is taken. The collapse will
be sudden as painful, and as general as
sudden.
The sub treasury clerks complain Of
the hard work entailed In the examina-
ton Of the trade dollars prior to redemp-
ton. Every coin has to be infinitely ex-
amined and only about 500 900 day can
